Yeah. Every smoke break I think... what if I... just... didn't.... go back?
This is the perfect post to come back to from Fishbowl hiatus
Of course I'd not post something like that if I weren't taking some action, I'm looking elsewhere, it's just tough to hang everyday when you'd rather be somewhere (anywhere?) Else
Would they even fucking care? They treat me like dirt!
Unless you're one of the Cannes stars, in which case, yay you. (Eyeroll.) No love for the people in the trenches, on the numerous shitty accounts, keeping the lights on.
On that note, me too
Then don't!? The option is in your hands, not anyone else's.
Maybe both, maybe just my job trying to figure that out
@R/GA1 yeah, tell me about it, lately I've gotten into the (bad) habit of chain smoking to prolong these breaks, logically I know I can just get up from my desk and step outside without smoking but also there's something freeing about the thought of "I can't go back up to my desk until I'm done smoking" which turns into "I'm almost done with this one.... so I guess I'll light another"
Anyway - sorry for getting off topic, OP - get out while you still can. Or I guess you could always just take up smoking.
FCB is horrible to their employees
I too feel that way and work at FCB
FCB Chicago, OP? It's done the same to me.
@OP. Neither do I. Let's get a coffee.
Then you should leave asap. Not saying it's easy but sometimes questioning the obvious is just wasting time and the focus should be on the solution. It's either flight or fight, pick the right one and hope for the best.
@FCB OP I have to know, which FCB?
@SAD1, those moments are the reason I can't quit smoking.
Chicago yes.
I wish I knew who everyone was so we could commiserate and cry together :(
We should all have a secret meeting.
Currently on one of those smoke breaks where I fantasize about getting out. I need to get serious about saving money while I'm figuring out what my next step is, idk how much longer I can do this.
